Notably: Luckily for Susan B. Anthony, she was only fined $100 for attempting to vote in the 1872 presidential election on this day. In Florida, 1.6 million people are disenfranchised by the equivalent of a poll tax, difficult to surmount.

I do not like to make telephone calls, and would not like to count the mornings I have sat on some Best Western motel bed somewhere and tried to force myself to put through the call to the assistant district attorney. My only advantage as a reporter is that I am so physically small, so temperamentally unobtrusive, and so neurotically inarticulate that people tend to forget that my presence runs counter to their best interests. And it always does. That is one last thing to remember: writers are always selling somebody out.
–From Joan Didion’s introduction to Slouching Toward Bethlehem (1968).
